Tower of Siloam by James Tissot
Time to open the scriptures for the readings for the coming weekend. We are currently in Year C of the Lectionary but parishes preparing for baptisms at the Easter Vigil have the option of using the readings for Year A for this and the next two weeks. This is because the Year A readings are especially suited to the Rites of Christian Initiation.
So, parishes using Year C readings will find the texts and commentary here while parishes using Year A readings will find their texts and commentary here.
Bringing children to worship? Our site for preparing children to hear the Word offers only the Year C readings and commentary which can be found here.
The Year C lectionary offers the parable of the fig tree (preceded by the 18 folks killed by the falling tower at Siloam).
The Year A lectionary offers the story of Jesus meeting the woman at the well.
Both sets of readings offer rich fare for Lenten prayer - take a look now at these scriptures so you'll be prepared to hear them. And if you're not certain which texts your parish will be using - read them both!
